'Charisma' means having the ability to attract and influence others either overtly or subtly.

Among the many adjectives one can use to describe former President Trump and his shenanigans - I always felt people voted for him because he has Rizz. There are a world full of people who are charismatic because of what they say and do in a positive way that makes a difference.
